No, he deserves to be jailed for giving “aid and comfort” to the enemies of the USA.

Utter nonsense! These people knew this was Jimmy Carter's book, and they must have known what his viewpoints are. What did they expect to read? Anyway, you can't go round suing people because you consider their viewpoints or version of what happened to be a "lie". Where would that end?
The way to deal with this is to set the record straight, or rebutt the arguments put forward by the author. In other words, don't censor Carter. Write a better book.

Though I spent most of my career in NYC, I am from Georgia and live here now. Friends who have first hand experience with Carter since he left office say that there is something really off with him. They say that his public persona is not accurate.
First, they say he is arrogant to the point of delusion. Second, it is said that, despite his somewhat meek and mild appearance, he is a deeply angry man (and deeply anti-Semitic).
There are Georgia Freepers who have a much better understanding of Carter than I do (my opinions are based on second hand stories)...I hope they will chime in on this thread and correct my impression if it is incorrect.

I’m no fan of Jimmy Carter. I think he’s a bitter old fool who never got over the ass-whipping Ronald Reagan gave him in 1980. I think he’s dangerous in some of his free-lance diplomacy. However, this case should be thrown out of court. It is a very, very dangerous precedent. People write all kinds of outrageous things in books. Unless Carter libeled a specific person—and that is a pretty high standard—he should not be sued even for lying at a general level about the so-called “Peace Process.” This will open up a Pandora’s Box of lawsuits against a lot of authors if it goes forward.

Ms. Lillian needs to be sued for giving birth to the peanut man.

These folks expected Jimmay to get it right? LOL. They knew who Jimmay was before they bought the book, right?

Yes it is time for virulent anti-semitism of Jimmah Carter to be held to account.
His hatred for Israel is now out in the open for all to see.

In a suit filed in federal court in New York, former president Jimmy Carter, along with his publisher, Simon & Schuster, is being sued by five readers of his 2006 book,... Sorry, but I have to side with Carter on this one based on a lack of legal standing. I simply don't accept that five people actually read his book.

Doesnt sound like there is any evidence that the plaintiffs relied on Carter’s representations and as a result suffered an injury of some kind. I’m not a lawyer but I’ll go out on a limb here anyway and predict that the lawsuit will be thrown out.

His post-presidency has been marked by truckling to America's enemies . . . Keep On Truckling!

He deserves far worse than that... but I find some solace in the fact that his soul will reside with fat ted kennedy’s... burning in hell forever.
